<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">IDNA2003 provided mapping rules that mapped eszett to ss. IDNA2008 decided that didn’t allow full support for a language, and decided to remove the mapping
(so it’d get it’s own punycode). However most browsers use the UTS#46 transitional rules because that would allow a link that previously went to one server to end up going to a new server if IDNA2008 rules were applied.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

then they could for presentation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:12.0pt">> Exactly, but a there's a somewhat popular
<a href="http://fussball.de" target="_blank">fussball.de</a> site. Users probably expect the sharp-s version to take them there.<br>

<br>
<span style="color:#1F497D">Well, that’s likely because the browser developers are afraid of what the IDNA2008 change would do to that scenario and have implemented the transitional part of UTR#46. If you followed pure IDNA2008, you could end up somewhere
else.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The zone file contains the A-label not the U-label, which unsurprisingly also works when called directly. It's also what the registrant believes they entered into the zone. A browser developer is free to decide which form to display but
implementing "could end up somewhere else" functionality does not strike me as being inthe best interests of either the registrant or user communities.<o:p></o:p></p>
